It best fits Back-End Developers with knowledge in Front-End and Infrastructure as well.

While Livestorm has headquarters in Paris, we are a remote-first company. As a matter of fact, Stormies are located between France, Germany, Greece, Mauritius, Spain, USA,... so we are looking for the best talent, no matter where you live.

Experience with workers and idempotency patterns (e.g Sidekiq)

Rigorous about testing and code quality (TDD, acceptance tests, unit tests)

Respect of SOLID principles, or any pattern helping with delivering great code

You love to make your code readable and get excited looking at beautifully written algorithms.



Plus:



Curious about GraphQL (e.g Apollo) and NodeJS

Interested by micro-service oriented architectures, DDD, event-driven design

When something breaks you don't roll on the floor crying, but rather take the lead to fix it up.

You are curious about new languages and aren't afraid of using new patterns and structures.

You're a team player and you have a sense of ownership.

You want to work with people from all over the globe (USA, Turkey, Belgium, France).

Moreover, we are looking for someone who can work in the Paris timezone (we accept a time difference of 2 hours maximum).




Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we'll let you in on a secret: there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate.
